Archeage only has gliders, GW2 doesn't have mounts at all, Everquest Next recently put up a poll on their site asking fans about fast travel / flying mounts and the overall response was largely negative to it. You can't make an option that's pretty much so deluxe it feels like a cheat to the game and not except it to have negative repercussions on the world and gameplay. Bypass all the content, bypass any immersion, drop and kill mobs without reading a single quest, drop and gank low levels without them ever even seeing your name, etc etc.
Now as for a nostalgic memory, I'll add a great one. My guild always gathered at Thorium Point for MC/BWL raids (the other closer FP didn't exist then). We waited until all 40 of us were there and then we rode out like a real raid. It was such an immense feeling, I really felt like I was part of something epic going on. Don't get that feeling at all anymore with the game in it's current state.
